Hello all

Wife says at least one of our fleet needs to go. And with 5 cars I guess she is right. The 1978 244 I use for work is the one voted off. Only because it honestly will never be pretty again. So I will be moving into the former wifemobile, an 88 245.

Since I will use it for work it is very important that the odometer work. Today I went to the local p&p in search of a new gear. After removing 4 clusters in 4 sweltering hot cars, and then taking them apart in the hot sun, I found 4 broken gears.

I also found a big tach and a small clock!

The questions: The tach needle without power does not rest on the "0" but goes farther down the scale. Roughly 7 oclock position. Is this normal?

I found the red/white wire behind the dash to plug it into the single connector, but do I need the three prong connector?

Can I plug the small clock into the radio "allways on" wire?

Thanks in advance. (My new gear is on order)

Joe
